Easy skin editing, Uploads and Downloads Via FTP.

I posted this and then realised that I do not remeber how I had the permissions set to allow me to do this anymore. So the stuff below can be used to download the themes or files but not upload them.

---------------

During the time when I was playing with the themes, It was a pain to keep having to copy themes from one place to another to get then in the frontend folder. So I did something like a reverse symlink to get around this.

If you have a site located on your cpanel server and your username is host99, then log into your server as root and go to

/home/host99 (You'll See)
|- public_html
|- public_ftp
|- temp

And so on. While you are in your main /home/host99, issue the following command as root.

Now, if you double click on the frontend symlink in your ftp client, you can now upload/download whatever parts of the theme that you are working on without having to copy the files all around or upload them into WHM as you'll now see...

To solve your permissions problem you also need to do this:

chown -R host99.host99 usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend

(of course only in case you are host99)
